Could Jacob May Be The White Sox Starting Center Fielder in 2017?

With the loss of J.B. Shuck and Austin Jackson to free agency, and the trade of former White Sox outfielder Adam Eaton this past offseason, the Chicago White Sox outfield depth is exceedingly thin. Left field is currently inhabited by veteran Melky Cabrera, and it appears the Sox are willing to give Avisail Garcia one more chance to tap into his potential in right field.

The only outfield postion left for the Sox that is entirely up for grabs is in center field. Rookie Charlie Tilson was pegged for the starting center field job, but a torn hamstring last season and now a right foot injury is beginning to raise a cause for concern.
